Going through a list of tips Thelonious Monk gave young saxophonist Steve Lacy! • Let's go, baby. • Brian Krock's channel • / @briankrock • The TIPS • Just because you’re not a drummer, doesn’t mean that you don’t have to keep time. • Pat your foot and sing the melody in your head when you play. • Stop playing all that bulls***, those weird notes, play the melody! • Make the drummer sound good. • Discrimination is important. • You’ve got to dig it to dig it, you dig? • All reet! • Always know • It must be always night, otherwise they wouldn’t need the lights. • Let’s lift the band stand!! • I want to avoid the hecklers. • Don’t play the piano part, I am playing that. Don’t listen to me, I am supposed to be accompanying you! • The inside of the tune (the bridge) is the part that makes the outside sound good. • Don’t play everything (or everytime); let some things go by. Some music just imagined. • What you don’t play can be more important than what you do play. • A note can be small as a pin or as big as the world, it depends on your imagination. • Stay in shape! Sometimes a musician waits for a gig when it comes, he’s out of shape can’t make it. • When you are swinging, swing some more! • (What should we wear tonight?) Sharp as possible! • Always leave them wanting more. • Don’t sound anybody for a gig, just be on the scene. • Those pieces were written so as to have something to play to get cats interested enough to come to rehearsal! • You’ve got it! If you don’t want to play, tell a joke or dance, but in any case, you got it! (to a drummer who didn’t want to solo). • Whatever you think can’t be done, somebody will come along do it. A genius is the one most like himself. • (⌐■_■) • ⦿ Adam Neely T-shirts! ⦿ • https://teespring.com/stores/adam-nee... • ⦿ SUPPORT ME ON PATREON ⦿ • / adamneely • ⦿ FOLLOW ME ON THE INTERNETS ⦿ • / adamneely • / its_adamneely • ⦿ Check out some of my music ⦿ • http://sungazermusic.bandcamp.com • http://insideoutsidemusic.bandcamp.com • http://adamneelymusic.bandcamp.com • Peace, • Adam
